What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

Nov 1, 2023

Stepping into the investment realm can often feel like navigating through a storm, with market values rising and falling unpredictably. However, there's a savvy, strategic investment technique that could be your anchor amidst this turbulence - Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). It's a simple "set it and forget it" tool, aimed at growing your portfolio and wealth with minimal hassle.

Let's dive into a real-world scenario.

Suppose you decided to invest $1,000 in Bitcoin on June 20, 2023. Your investment would have netted you approximately 0.0356 BTC. However, had you chosen to purchase $100 worth of Bitcoin every month for the past 10 months, you would now be holding roughly 0.0456 BTC, with the total value of your investment standing at a more appealing $1,280.51!

Here's a brief breakdown of how this strategy would have played out:

  • On September 19, 2022, with Bitcoin priced at $19,570.39, your $100 would have bought 0.00510976 BTC.


  • Fast forward to February 18, 2023, Bitcoin's price has soared to $24,642.79, yet your consistent monthly investment of $100 now acquires 0.00405798 BTC.


  • Come June 20, 2023, with Bitcoin at $28,073.67, your $100 gets you 0.00356206 BTC.

With each passing month, irrespective of the price swings, your Bitcoin accumulation steadily grows, showcasing the power of a disciplined, consistent investment approach.
